"The definition of "equal rights " changed when Pres. Obama was elected." It sure did. The right declared war on him as soon as he was elected. The right believes in equal rights as long as you have the money to pay for them.

"I have not done anything wrong," Lerner said in an opening statement. "I have not broken any law. I have not violated any IRS rules and regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee."

WallStreetonparade**** has a few interesting articles about the tax exempt issue. Interesting that in 1959 who was targeted. The tobacco industry in the early 90s, now the Koch Brothers who started the Tea Party with the coal barron of WV as a staunch supporter. I just widh the Journal would not be so republican. Gotta checkout the Herald.

And H$U$' state "Director" is their euphemism for LOBBYIST. It's finally coming to light that the IRS' Lois Lerner, who has directed the IRS to harass certain organizations, happens to be an active H$U$ member, and is responsible for sitting on several years' worth of requests for an investigation of H$U$' violation of its 501(c)3 "charity" exemption by indulging in excessive lobbying (against animal ownership). H$U$ is the richest Animal RIGHTS (NOT Animal WELFARE, big difference!) organization in the world, and operates not a single pet animal shelter.

And yet the “charity” run by President Barack Obama’s brother that was fast-tracked for IRS tax-exempt status is based at a Virginia UPS store which has no knowledge of the business and the organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based. Class act. There's an old saying that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"They voted for this administration because they believed they would receive more personal benefits for themselves." Many voted the way they did because the other option scared the he11 out of them and still does.

JJ, this is an example of your approach. I am not nor have ever been a member of any tea party group, however you make statements like this that try to link conservatives to a totally baseless statement like the above.

Americans are more dishonest and greedy than they are stupid. They voted for this administration because they believed they would receive more personal benefits for themselves. They couldn't care less what becomes of the nation in the long run. Just give me my benefits and equal rights and let the good times roll.

"This morning on Meet the Press The Washington Post‘s Bob Woodward let loose on the Obama Administration:" “You look at the whole Benghazi thing. You look at those talking points and the initial draft by the CIA very explicitly said we know that activists who have ties to Al-Qaeda were involved in the attack. Then you see what comes out a couple of days later and there is no reference to this. This is a business where you have to tell the truth and that did not happen here.“ Woodward was one of the lead investigative journalists during the Watergate scandal."

Now we have someone saying Issa changed emails. Show us the proof that Issa changed them. Someone said the other day that Issa was "dishonorably" discharged from the service, well we now know that was not true.

The news that Ms. Lerner is also an active member of the Humane $ociety of the United $tates also explains why, after requests from at least 27 Congresscritters and hundreds of taxpayers, and thousands of pages of documentation, the IRS has still not responded to requests for an investigation of H$U$'s abuse of its tax exempt "Charity" status re: Excessive Lobbying".
